In "File|Preferences", what directories are listed as resource sources for patterns? IIRC, you can also put the pattern in ~/.gimp-2.2/patterns if you are doing a per-user install (as opposed to system-wide). Also, does the pattern(s) folder have an -s or no? I forget what the actual one does have, although IIRC you can set any one you want, in theory. I could be wrong though, I'm a bit rusty. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
